I'm pretty sure this is the only place where @lsm_attr_names is used,
right?  If true, when coupled with the idea that these syscalls are
going to close the door on new LSM attributes in procfs I think we can
just put the mapping directly in this function via a series of
if-statements.

See my prior comments about void pointer math.

Should we handle the padding in this function?
